Baby greens, hydroponic lettuce heads, cooking greens
We started Sugar Water Farm with the idea that fresh, local greens should grow year-round
(yep, even in New England). So with our dream in hand, we built a greenhouse totally dedicated
to cultivating a variety of lettuces as sustainably as possible.
Our plants are grown using hydroponic methods. That means they’re nurtured without the dependency of soil. Plants gain nutrients through water in the ground. And hydroponics removes the step of soil to provide plants the sustenance they need, directly through a constant stream of water.
In our hydroponic greenhouse, every factor is controlled. And with no competition from outside factors, plants grow to their fullest potential, boosting flavor and nutrition – all in shorter time. Even better, the hydroponic method allows for growing more plants in a smaller space, reducing the use of water, and ultimately, our environmental footprint. Now that’s exciting.
Why the name, Sugar Water Farm? Our farm is situated on 40 acres of sugar maple groves. Come winter when the maple sap flows, we tap our trees for the best darn New England syrup around. Combine that with our water-wise growing methods - well, Sugar Water Farm just made sense.
